The Gregory Family Charitable Foundation makes modest, targeted grants to faith-rooted and community-serving organizations in the Nashville/Middle Tennessee area. Its giving emphasizes local ministries and neighborhood service providers that deliver youth programming, family support, and community development. Grants are few but meaningful, often supporting both religiously affiliated ministries and secular youth/service organizations that serve vulnerable local populations.
Small foundation with concentrated, local giving: around 4–5 mid-sized grants per cycle ($10k–$20k), including repeat support to select grantees and a mix of religious and secular service providers.
The Gregory Family Charitable Foundation’s recent giving shows a steady preference for repeat support to Middle Tennessee nonprofits, with multiple organizations appearing in more than one year and several grants landing at the same $5,000 level. In 2023, the foundation made $10,000 grants to Boys and Girls Club of Middle Tennessee, Preston Tayor Ministries, Martha O'bryan Center, and Graceworks Ministries, signaling a mix of youth services, faith-based work, and neighborhood support. That pattern continues in later years through repeat awards to Graceworks Ministries and Boys and Girls Club of Middle Tennessee, alongside support for Preston Taylor Ministries and Mother to Mother. The foundation also funds organizations beyond its core local network, including Pediatric Cancer Collaborative in Buffalo and Canine Cancer Alliance in Bellevue. Across the recent grants list, the common thread is modest, targeted support for organizations serving children, families, and community needs through general charitable purposes rather than narrow project lines.
Youth development is one clear thread in the foundation’s grantmaking. Boys and Girls Club of Middle Tennessee received $10,000 in 2023 and $5,000 in 2024 and 2025, showing repeated support for after-school and youth-serving work. Family and community support is another area: Mother to Mother received $5,000 in both 2024 and 2025, and Martha O'bryan Center received $10,000 in 2023. Faith-linked community ministry also appears in the record, with Preston Taylor Ministries receiving $10,000 in 2023 and $5,000 in 2024 and 2025, while Graceworks Ministries received $10,000 in 2023 and 2025 and $5,000 in 2024. The foundation also supported Nashville Anti Human Trafficking Coalition with $5,000 grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
Grant size is tightly clustered: the p25, median, and p75 are all $5,000, and most listed awards sit at that level. A smaller number of grants rise to $10,000, with one $1,750 grant to National Football Foundation in 2025. The record also shows repeat giving across years, especially to Graceworks Ministries, Boys and Girls Club of Middle Tennessee, Preston Taylor Ministries, Mother to Mother, Nashville Anti Human Trafficking Coalition, and Pediatric Cancer Collaborative. The foundation gives as a charitable foundation with broad, unspecified purpose support rather than program-restricted grants in the data provided.
